"Is this a good enough reason to avenge the tomb bird and vent his evil anger?"
Gao Fei smiled lazily at his classmate Xiao Ma.
"Don't just think about what nature is like. Nature is already 4.5 billion years old. What kind of big scene has it not experienced? There is no need for mortals like us, who are as small as ants, to be sentimental."
"On issues that don't involve the bottom line of being a human being, instead of following the mainstream moral standards against my will and waving flags, I would rather act casually and just seek to understand one idea."
Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, her eyes becoming a little confused.
"Although Gao Fei's attitude is not politically correct, I like it."
Jiang Feng smiled and waved his hand and blasted out a "Sun Flame Palm", which instantly evaporated a large ant colony.
At the same time, Wang Daqing also smashed the electric baton on the ground. Only a few ants were directly electrocuted to death, but the roar of thunder that followed killed all the ants within 20 feet.
Tangning seemed to be touched by what Gao Fei said just now. She looked at him deeply and then unbuttoned her shirt.
"Sister Tang, do you want to take action too?" Ma Yun asked in surprise.
Tangning's exclusive profession is "Natural String", which is similar to a druid. It is reasonable to say that she is an environmentalist whose mission is to maintain ecological balance. Why would she want to eliminate the ant colony?
Tangning handed the coat she took off to Ma Yun and said calmly: "I respect the laws of nature, but I also hate ants."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body decomposed into countless birds of paradise, like a colorful cloud rushing towards the bird's nest and pecking at the ants.
Qitian lacked the means to attack in groups, and his giant mantis did not have any suitable moves to deal with ant colonies, so he could only watch the fun from the side.
"We've been walking all this way and haven't seen even half of an ant nest. Why is there a large group of ants nearby?"
Qi Tian looked around, wondering to himself.
"Xiaotian, those are a group of army ants, there is a shovel ant nest!"
Ma Tao smiled and cursed while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Ah? Don't army ants build nests?"
Not only Qi Tian was surprised, Gao Fei also heard about it for the first time, so he quickly turned on his phone and Googled it.
As Ma Tao said, army ants have no habit of building nests. They are like a group of ferocious bandits, eating everything they can in their path. Occasionally, they will seize the nests of other creatures and temporarily station themselves to avoid wind and rain.
.
At this time, there was a rustling movement in the bushes, as if something was peering out.
Gao Fei turned his head and looked at the place where the unusual movement came from. The shadow covered by the branches and leaves looked like a wild boar.
The mutated mantis next to Qi Tian was very vigilant. He immediately raised his catching foot and squeaked at the bushes to remind his owner to be careful.
Ma Tao raised a finger and hissed, signaling his companion not to disturb the guy hiding in the dark.
The unknown beast in the bush hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't stand the temptation and bravely climbed out.
This guy is as strong as a wild boar, with a gray-white head, brown fur, and a back covered with needles of varying lengths.
The strangest thing is its mouth, which looks like a curved tube.
"What is this thing? It looks so strange!" Qi Tian looked suspicious.
"A bit like a hedgehog..." Ma Tao guessed.
"How can there be such a big hedgehog!" Ma Yun shook her head repeatedly.
"Or it's a porcupine."
"The porcupine's mouth is not like this." Goofy whispered.
The strange animal with thorns all over its body seemed to realize that Gao Fei and others had no intention of harming it. It trotted past them and approached the bird's nest in the camp mound. It spit out a long and slender tongue from its tubular snout, and skillfully
Prey on army ants.
This monster's tongue is covered with mucus, and when it sweeps through the grass, it is covered with dense army ants. It is retracted into its mouth and chewed slowly. It tastes delicious!
When Gao Fei saw this scene, he realized why its mouth looked like this. It turned out to be an animal similar to an anteater, with a long and slender tube-shaped mouth that was conducive to deep exploration of ant nests.
Gao Fei raised his phone to take a photo of it and used the image search function to find the corresponding species. The most reasonable answer seemed to be an animal called the echidna.
The echidna looks like a hedgehog, but it is actually far removed from hedgehogs in terms of genetic relationship. It is a close relative of the platypus, a relatively primitive mammal.
The thorns on a hedgehog are solid and firmly attached to the body. They have no barbs and cannot be fired out to hurt people.
The thorns on the echidna's body are hollow and have barbs. It is said that they can be fired like arrows. After a period of time, new needles will grow out of the places where they fall off.
Irian Island happens to be one of the main habitats of echidnas, so this one is also correct.
However, the problem is that the echidna is about the same size as a hedgehog, but the one in front of you is like a wild boar, it is ridiculously big!
After thinking for a moment, Gao Fei could only come up with a logical guess.
The echidna in front of me is probably a new species that has been infected by magic and mutated.
He opened the astrolabe to investigate, and the result gave him a small surprise.
In Tiangong's database, you can find ordinary echidnas, but this large mutant species has not yet been included.
"Xiaotian, that's a mutated echidna. Are you interested in taming it as a second natural partner?" Gao Fei asked Qi Tian.
"Okay, let me try it!" Qi Tian rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Be careful of the echidna's sting. It is said that it can be fired like a crossbow arrow and sting people." Ma Tao reminded.
"Brother Xiaotian, go ahead boldly! I'll cover you!"
Like a doraemon, Ma Yun rummaged through the astrolabe to find a simple tower shield made of thick wood, and cast a spell to activate it.
The activation tower shield floated into the air, and under Ma Yun's mental control, it floated towards the mutated echidna in the sky.
The mutated echidna, which was engrossed in devouring the army ants, maintained a high degree of vigilance. As soon as it noticed Qi Tian approaching, it immediately roared "Yo yo", which was full of warning.
"Hey, big furball, don't be so mean! I just want to get to know you and make friends."
Qi Tian's playful smile looked like a hooligan who stopped a pretty girl on the street and asked for her WeChat ID.
With the professional ability of the animal tamer "Wild Identity" and the perception attribute of up to 20 points, Qitian has always been able to easily tame wild animals in the past, but today he was a little surprised.
The mutated echidna actually didn't like this, turned its back to the sky, raised its butt covered with spikes, and shot four spikes at him in one breath with a sharp sound of breaking wind!
Fortunately, Ma Yun reacted quickly enough and controlled the floating tower shield in time to block Qitian. All four spikes were blocked by the shield.
A two-foot-long spike was nailed to an inch-thick shield, and actually penetrated it, revealing some edge!
What a strong penetrating power!
Gao Fei watched from the side and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The spikes shot by the mutated echidna may not be as powerful as rifle bullets, but at least not as powerful as a strong bow or crossbow.
